Outfit Remix
There are those certain dresses that we can wear as skirts or skirts we can wear as dresses. Let's call them "dirts". Get it? Dresses + skirts = "dirts". Or, you could go with skirts + dresses = "skresses". Whatever floats your metaphorical boat. Anyhoo, I'm not here to argue names. I'm here to tell you that when you find a dirt or skress, you get two potential outfits in one. I came across this Language Los Angeles dress I bought a few years back while I was spring cleaning. I wanted a look that was casual to run around town to do errands but looked cute and kept me comfortable. So I pulled this dress down to my waist, threw on a BCBG tank, FreePeople knit crop sweater, belt and tie up sandals. To remix the entire look, and set my sights on something that takes me from day to date, I wore it like it was meant to be worn, threw on some heels, a Charolette blue knit sweater and cinched it all together with a belt. The top of the dress is straight across, so to give it a sweetheart neckline, I tucked some of the fabric together with a safety pin, and voila! Outfit remixed. Katie - 1, Closet - 0. Bam.

back in my skank-tastic college days, I've been known to use a skin tight tube top pulled down as a skin tight mini MINI skirt!
this is a gorgeous dress!

I did something very similar in my 30 for 30 yesterday! Sometimes it's the simplist things that really change up the remix :)
Super cute :-)

Love this idea! Must go on a hunt for some dirts now! x
That's a great idea! I've never even thought of a dress, a certain kind of dress I know, to be worn as a skirt!
And love the idea of bunching up the top of the dress for you 'date' look. Again, never would have thought of that!
Gosh, I am so clueless when it comes to even remixing! You really need a creative mind...where did mine go? As least when it comes to fashion I can't find it!

I love anything that can do double duty. This is amazing.
What a great idea! Love the new word "dirts" I wear those a lot, know I know their names, love the boho mood on this one, as always you look beautiful!

way to go girlfriend! I have a dress in my closet that I've been wondering if I can do this same thing with ... hmmm... may have to try! :)
xo! Lauren @ tickled.
My friend had a skirt that she let me borrow but had just left it on my bed without explanation. I put it on thinking it was a dress and had no second thoughts. needless to say when I showed her pictures we laughed for a while. I like both ways you styled it! SO springy!
Genius!!! You just made me think about spring cleaning my own mess! Ooohh! Your nails match the dress too!
